Answer 4

There are some great organisations which work to stop violence against women internationally and in your own country, too!

One of the best is Amnesty International,

Another great organisation is Unifem, which is a branch of the United Nations.

Both these organisations do great work, and have a lot of very interesting information on their websites.

Enjoy!
